Well I guess I know what box to get and who to send it to that has the dremel skillz.. :nod: I just gotta buy the box and some lipos and wire..

:lol: if that's what it would take....we could arrange something. :nod:

Linky?

I have 2 Bridgeport mills and lots of machining skills.:sneaky:

New ride enroute!!
 

I ordered my 2.0 from Amain this weekend. Should be here Thursday:nod::nod: I've been reading this thread and see that I need to go over the truck and be sure all screws are tight, check my shock ends to be sure they are not stripped and change the servo saver spring to the 8T 1.0 one. I also ordered the Alumn servo saver top arm and the Alumn servo arm. Anything else I need to pay particular attention too?

thats about it bro....... I would get the Jdub modded rear hubs for sure. I would also replace the shock ends as the threads are gone, they wont last, so dont risk it. Get the longer camber link and wingstay screws as well. You going to dirtburners tomm. night? cya bro!

Thanks Trevor! Do you have a link for the JDub? No, I won't be at DB on Tuesday nights. After Memorial Day, I will race @ DB on Sat's or RC-Outlaw (Collinsville IL) on Sundays.

cool man, cya soon!

+1... had him do my aluminum rear hubs and front spindles. Excellent work!!! Solves the problem with bearings for good.:nod:

what are the wing stay screws????


and btw... ill be testing this theory this weekend. i went to avids all the way around on my 8t2.0 because every pro ive talked to said the bearing issue is just the stock bearing because they have a bad batch and replacing them will fix everything. if they go out ill be sendin j dub some money..... if not then i guess im glad i waited



and btw the people complaining about the losi box all you gotta do is replace the wire to bigger gauge. i had some integy motors go due to my dad mis treatin the box and the hobby shop wired it wrong. and for some reason my dad bought a second box cause he didnt wanna wait :weird: so now we have 2 but he had them rewire the box to bigger wire and weve broken 2 motors in last weekend and the motors are still good.

Just a tip for some people as i've had two come loose despite the above.

If you add shock fluid whilst the threadlock is still wet, the shock fluid will eat the threadlock.
Leave overnight for the threadlock to fully harden before adding the shock fluid

X2. but overnight is over kill. i let it sit for about 10 min and never had an issue

I wired mine direct solder to the contact points with Deans wet noodle, and it still wasn't good enough.

You don't have to modify the top plate unless you just have to have it like the Losi Box. I didn't mod my top plate and it works just fine. I did move the wheel closer to the center of the box though.

Well I will be getting the ofna box asap and getting the losi lid put on it. Wondering but why doesn't anyone wet noodle some ofna 770 motors in the losi box? And why wouldn't it work? Besides I guess their over $50 to buy those 2 motors alone... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVCL4&P=Z
